LOL, remember the first snowboard gold medal? A Canadian won that and no way was he free. I think he tested positive for marijuana too, but blamed it on accidental inhalation from those using around him

I like the Olympics and try to watch it when I can, but man, some of the sports are distinctly European. But once the hockey gets rolling, there should be some awesome games there on both the men's and women's sides. The US women are pretty awesome and the presumed final between Canada and the US should be downright nasty. Men's hockey is more nerve wracking because we should have a shot at winning, but we may not.

That said, I'm hoping to make it to some events out in Vancouver in 2010.

Oh, you should try to find highlights of skeleton. Those guys are nuts!

Skeleton or as I like to call it - "C4 Paralysis Waiting to Happen".

Sure, I'm just going to RUN AS FAST AS I CAN for 40metres (on ice no less), then , jump on a tiny sled and zoom head first at 70-80mph downhill on an icy track... where's that crazy smilie when you need it.

NASCAR without a seatbelt (or . Or a car. Or a frame. But hoo doggies, that helmet is going to save your life, no doubt about it.

There's about 4 million Canadian kids trying the same **** every day on the hills up here. Man I remember tobogganing on ski hills and we tried to run each other into the huge I-beam poles that held the rope tow up. Monstrous v-shaped dents in the front of the aluminum toboggan on the way home. Oh those were the days...

Sucks that the men's team is struggling but I had them no higher than 4th and even that was a generous prediction. I'm not surprised to see Canada struggling cause I didn't have them winning gold either. I thought it would be a country like the Czech Republic or Sweden taking it this year and obviously Slovakia and Finland are looking strong as well.

Canada's stuck in an old boys mentality. How you leave Spezza and Staal behind is completely beyond me. Not trying to pick on Bertuzzi, but it made no sense to take a guy that's been struggling and is obviously still struggling over those two guys.

I'm hoping we can still pull it out, but it'll have to be just like '02 to do it again and I don't know if there's enough heart there this time.

The whole rest of the men's hockey tournament should prove really interesting. Canada's trying to relive 2002 for a come from behind win but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's a pretty stupid thing to do. I don't know that they can pull it off again.

Interesting Canadian women's win in the hockey too. Didn't really tear up the Swedes but they pretty much dominated. I'm not convinced the Swedes are a legitimate #2 though, I think the US women were clearly guilty of looking to the next game rather than playing the semifinal. I still think there's a pretty good gap and aside from a huge mental lapse, the final should have been US/Canada and the winner wouldn't have been clear.
